Visitamos Zingara para que nuestras chicas se reúnan el sábado 14 de diciembre. Todo comenzó bien con una camarera encantadora (una pelirroja cuyo nombre no conseguimos) que era muy servicial y nos permitió solicitar un cóctel de Navidad a medida! Toda la comida era agradable para la mayoría de nosotros, además del entrante de pollo que no era ni caliente ni frío. Preguntamos cuál estaba destinado a ser, y nos dijeron que no estaban seguros, lo que nos llevó a creer que se había calentado, no muy bien, o se había dejado fuera demasiado tiempo después de cocinar. Los problemas comenzaron hacia el final de la comida cuando un hombre, que supongo que era el gerente del restaurante vino a pedirnos que dejáramos nuestra mesa en 15 minutos a medida que se acababa nuestro tiempo. Estábamos reservados hasta las 7 y eran las 6: 30 Nosotros le dijimos que acabamos de recibir nuestros postres, pero dijimos que con gusto tomaríamos la factura ahora para ayudar a acelerarla y que estaríamos fuera de la mesa a tiempo. 10 minutos después se acercó con la factura y aunque uno de nosotros claramente tenía una cuchara en la boca de su postre claramente inacabado nos pidieron que lleváramos la factura a nuestra otra mesa reservada en el área del bar. ¡Increíble! También les mencioné que necesitaríamos nuestra cuenta de bebidas por separado. Esto es importante para un punto posterior. Nos dirigimos a nuestra mesa de bar y habíamos comenzado a disfrutar el resto de nuestra noche. Observando, sin embargo, que nuestra mesa, que necesitaban con tanta urgencia la libertad, no se ocupó hasta el 7 : 30 - 8 pm Mientras estábamos sentados en nuestra mesa de copas, un miembro del personal se nos acercó diciendo que si éramos más, serviría copas a nuestra mesa toda la noche para que no tuviéramos que ir al bar. Pero no podría ofrecernos eso esta noche y sugirió que volviéramos la próxima semana con más gente. ¡No es algo que pedimos! Solo vino a decirnos que no podía hacerlo. Nos quejamos porque nos habían empujado de nuestra mesa por el gerente 20 minutos antes, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba VACÍO! Entonces nos dijeron que si solo éramos más, podríamos tener este servicio. El miembro del personal estuvo totalmente de acuerdo y luego realmente nos cuidó toda la noche, era genial y su nombre era Ethan. Nos compró una ronda de tiros gratis para disculparnos. Algún momento más tarde en la noche un muy agrio enfrentado (supongo gerente de bar) vino con la cuenta de bar que había solicitado aproximadamente 3 horas antes, actuando como si hubiéramos intentado hacer un corredor y no pagarlo. Inmediatamente señalé que lo había solicitado antes y 4 de los 5 de nosotros pagamos inmediatamente. La quinta persona estaba en la zona de fumadores y le dije que la haría venir a pagar el saldo tan pronto como regresara. Entonces dijo muy groseramente que no se iría de la mesa hasta que se pagara. No habíamos dado ninguna razón para creer que no se pagaría en su totalidad. Me ofrecí voluntariamente a buscar a mi amiga para ella sin que ella sugiriera que podría venir conmigo a tomar el pago. Sólo esperaba allí todo el tiempo. Cuando regresé, le dije que había localizado a mi amiga que había tenido que ir al baño y que volvería enseguida. Es en este punto que se enojó porque mi amiga se había atrevido a necesitar vaciar su vejiga (después de múltiples bebidas) así que después de que ella expresó su incredulidad, yo mismo saldé la cuenta. En resumen; visita Zingara si quieres una buena comida y un buen baile después, pero no vayas por el servicio al cliente! ¡Creo que tal vez deberían conseguir que el personal de camareros más joven capacitara a los gerentes sobre cómo hacerlo, ya que todos eran geniales!

I am not really sure where to start, went here on a recommendation to try. Booked for my friends birthday! Waiter was lovely and cannot fault him. Cocktails were really bad, considering they advertise as a cocktail bar I expected to have a cocktail made, but it was ice in a glass with a cocktail mix (funking I believe) charging £8.50! Sent the first cocktail back and was told the manager also agreed with me and I could get a different one, ordered a different drink and it was still very bad. Ordered 5 appetisers - (bruschetta, meatballs, lamb, potatoes and halloumi). Basic food to pick at and I’m sorry but the bruschetta bread was wet, not crisp! The halloumi was dusted with flour before being cooked to death (I wanted grilled halloumi) and the potato’s were so salty and caked in a bbq sauce - not good for someone with kidney disease! Regardless the lamb was nice and the meatballs were ok. At the end of the meal asked to speak to the manager or owner - the manager approached and told us that the brunch they served that very afternoon was fine and was the same food and never had any complaints. I was told it’s my fault that I did not enjoy the food, that it’s mine and my friends pallet that was wrong! I actually had to tell the manager that she had an attitude which was not needed ... I had to elaborate to the manager that I was not after a free meal, or anything to be taken off my bill but that as someone who works in the same industry I just wanted to provide my feedback to better the establishment- to which she laughed and walked off. I don’t know what else to say about this manager but she should not be a manager and she lacks certain key skills. I paid everything on the bill- but I will not be back. The Irish lady, I believe she might be a general manager who I spoke to afterwards (sorry really cannot remember your name) - she should be the manager, she was kind and understanding, and took the time to speak to me afterwards. The waiter (like I said at the beginning) was lovely and he understood the issue - he said he would bring this to the attention of the owner (which I really hope he does) Happy to speak to the owner, from one restaurant owner to another!

Can you teach the staff there what a negroni, please? You can't call yourself a serious bar without knowing what a negroni is. Every bar up town does one. You're letting yourselves down by not knowing what a negroni is. It doesn't have prosecco in it, which you've tried to put in it on two occasions.

Cometió el error de reservar este restaurante para nuestra comida de aniversario de boda. Desafortunadamente cuando hicimos la reserva no nos dijeron acerca del evento Sunday Soul music, así que no pudimos escucharnos hablar por la música realmente alta. También se habían quedado sin mucha comida, por lo que no había filetes ni platos de pollo disponibles. La paella de mariscos estaba muy buena, pero el pescado y las patatas fritas no eran nada especial. Volvería de nuevo para una noche de chicas, pero no es el lugar para una velada en pareja.

I have been to Zingara for dinner and drinks several times I have lost count(atleast once a month some months more)!! Last night my friends and I wanted to go grab drinks this is the first time I have been on a Saturday late just for drinks no food! When we turned up there the bouncer said one of my friends couldn’t come in because she had white trainers on! I was confused because like I said I have been to Zingara several times and I have never been questioned about white trainers. (We even have pictures of us wearing white trainers in Zingara) anyway I though as I have been here a few times let me ask the manager as I have never heard this before. She was so rude to me from the beginning which caught me off guard the first thing she said to me as soon as I explained the situation was “well if you have been here before then you know about the dress code, I replied no i did not as I have never been here for just drinks I normally come for drink and food” anyway my thing is policy is policy that is fine there are other bars on the same road which we went to anyway! But for a manager to lack basic customer service skills to have a polite conversation. She was speaking to me as if I had done something wrong! As a manager all she needed to do was just explain if they did infact have a dress code policy, what it is and when it’s implemented (as I said we have previously been in white trainers) because like I said there are other bars on the same road so we have other options. My friends and I will not be returning to Zingara from this interaction!

Would give no stars....Since when are you told at the age of 39 you're not allowed in because of footwear. I had smart, chunky converse on and was made to wait with 3 security doormen whilst they checked with management. It was 8:30 pm and my friends were already inside as it was a birthday celebration. After being looked up and down for 5 mins, I had enough and left. Never have I been treated in this manner, especially at a restaurant/bar

I was there last night for a friend's birthday party and nearly died because of food allergy thanks to Zingara's chef who chose to ignore my allergy request. Despite informing the waiter at the time of ordering of my severe egg allergy. My food came with mayonnaise. Needless to say, I am glad I am alive after that. Avoid if you have allergies, because they don't care and you can lose your life.

We happened to book this restaurant by chance at the last minute as our usual restaurant was closed for that day. Since it was our first visit, we had guarded expectations. It was our friends twins birthday and we had lots of kids with us so difficult to keep the noise level low. What can I say, we had a fantastic time, well above the kind of feeling we would have expected from this place. I would like to specially mention about two waitresses they were absolutely fantastic and made our entire experience so special. Especially, Grace, her attention to details were exemplary. She was very professional and highly attentive to our every request and I could say without any hesitation she is the best waitress I have ever met! Food was tasty, freshly made and portions were huge. I would certainly visit here again and thank you Grace for your wonderful hospitality.

Their website says no trainers yet most men inside were wearing trainers. The bouncers looked at me then my husband (a calm, normal, quiet 43 yr old) and said no, he can't come in. Why? His trainers are white. So I missed the party my friends had booked in there towards my leaving employment with them because his footwear was white. Their no trainer rule was obviously not true, so we were discriminated against? They just blamed management. So i will too! This is what YOU are allowing! My 5 mins i was allowed to explain to friends will allow me to say 'this place is actually deeply overrated'. Theres far better with better attitudes. Its ok though, you can be a thug and still get in if your trainers aren't white. Be wise, spend elsewhere! Not even worth the 1 star. Rude and narrow minded. Maybe correctly judge people or people will judge and spread the word on you!

Went to Soul afternoon 011023, which are held first Sunday every month 3-9pm. Our first visit. Great atmosphere, great drinks! Covered area at front with tables, they let you smoke there. On entering you're in a very large room with DJ booth on left, big speakers all around, central bar with loads of beers including MANGO (v nice) and cocktails (Mojito same), run by overworked barmaids. Drinks average £7 each. Room was set up as a dance floor with tables around outside edge. Punters mostly middle aged or approaching it and a lot were apparently single men. Some good dancing going on esp from some older black guys reliving their youth. Music was mixed dance, rap, soul and VERY loud and even though we were in opposite corner to the DJ my ears are still ringing the next day! I'd go again though, but BOOK A TABLE! Restaurant out the back but we didn't eat there.

Was at the door on bank holiday Friday (25.8.23), Wasn't allowed in as we had casual trainers on (a popular brand with a star). looking in, it was pretty quiet so to turn away customers on a quiet bank holiday, this place must have a money tree planted inside. Anyway won't ever be going back. Thank you doormen. We laughed about it and headed to The Golden Lion.

Been interested in trying Zingara for some time. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The calamari was overcooked and rubbery. The fish burger was overcooked and chips luke warm. The service was good and drinks were nice. Overall it was clear the focus was for a bar atmosphere and the restaurant was secondary. Price wise it was not value for money as I couldn't eat the food, nor hear my partner for the loud music. Further our home cooking is a much higher calibre. Disappointed in our experience and do not recommend for eating. If you are after a bar atmosphere then it is fine.

I am a 74 year old lady with mobility problems but my daughter got me up on the dancefloor, especially when the DJ started playing songs from the 80's and 90's!! When it was time to go, one of the bouncers escorted us out, parting the floor like Moses!! I felt like the queen! Thank you all for the best night in years!!

So attended a private function upstairs when it was finishing up we went downstairs to dance to the music. The aggressive bouncer proceeded to shine a light on our feet and chuck us out cause we were wearing white trainers when we had spent time and money upstairs. He was very rude and proceeded to drag me to the front door. Why is he going round the dance floor shining a torch on peoples feet.The manager was polite to give her her due and explained the rules after but also think your a bar in Bexleyheath with outdated rules and sexist rules, we were already attending a function and also I wear trainers not heels because I've got an injury.

Bouncer racist and homophobic towards one member of our group. She was wearing grey trainers and would not let her in then our friend had a flat pair of shoes closed in at the toes with her so she put them on and the bouncer was following her and called manager over and then was told she couldn't wear them due to health and safety by the manager so strange as most of the girls we was with had flip flops on and flat open toe shoes but that weren't against health and safety. Would never go here again as the bouncer was rude racist and homophobic towards our friend.

We went to Zingara to view the event space above the bar/dining room. It was better than expected, 2 walls have cork making decoration easy to put up/break down. The room itself is elegant with sofas, stool and small ledges for drinks, while providing plenty room for dancing. There is a separate bar, toilets and outer terraced smoking area so there is no mingling with other customers. The hiring price and platter offers are great, so we prebooked straight away.

Been here many times but won’t return as the music is SO SO SO LOUD in the restaurant and even when you ask to turn it down it seems they do the opposite. Strange! Trying to speak to the waitress was also impossible for both her and us, so good luck if you want to ask something about your bill. Maybe the plan is to make you scream so loud at each other that you need more drinks for the effort. It would be ok once you’re at the point you just want a dance but if you want a conversation on any level, go elsewhere first. Shame as it’s an easy fix but they seem unwilling.

Watched a show in London and then caught a train and a taxi to Zingara on Sat evening. We were greeted by a very unreasonable and rude doorman who refused my friend and I entry. Two, 43 year old women, who had only drank 2 glasses of wine each that evening. We were told that because we had a drink before arriving that we weren’t allowed in. Neither of us were even tipsy let alone intoxicated which he told us was the reason we couldn’t go in. However he then let others in that were clearly very drunk. We asked to speak to a manager but again he refused. Very disappointed and won’t be returning.

I've been to this restaurant a few times. After the 1st time I couldn't wait to go back. Unfortunately we were one of only a few 2 seating tables that night bang in the middle of tables for 6+ people. A mix of hen parties and other large groups dominated the room. Even the loud music didn't drown it out. I get that large groups generally mean they get a lot more money, but it's just not 'couple friendly'. The most recent visit (Sept 2022) we brought a friend and I very specifically asked if we could sit somewhere quiet. It was basically the exact opposite once again. SUCH a shame as the food is very good. That said, I was hugely dissapointed they change one of the potato tapas, not as good as the 1st couple of times. I have now moved up to Yorkshire so won't be going back. I would still recommend the food, but don't go if you're looking for a romantic night with your partner. Service also a bit slow at times coming to the table with the bill, or asking if you want more drinks. I know some people don't like to be hurried on that, so it's a fine line, but staff need to look and see if customers are trying to get their attention for such things.

I love this bar but once again some bad management choices on my last visit. I sat with a friend at table for two, staff put a table next to another. My friend left after his drink, I was still drinkink and was approached and asked to move being told this table is reserved well it became reserved when I was sitting there? So they booked in a group and asked me to move! I asked where and directed to the seat by fireplace, got another beer in, halfway through approached by two and told this table is reserved and we need it now... I questioned where is the reservation note and that its not on to keep moving me. I asked where would they like me to sit, outside the reply, move or leave. For a on and off customer since it was Zero degrees this is just poor. The staff know what tables are booked, they need to put signs on them and not keep unsettling people. Very poorly handled and very bad on the foh to have such attitude. tldr booking a table in while someone is sitting there or not telling that person its reserved at X time, to allow me to sit and by herded about twice in the space of an hour or so!

Food average Rude manager But worse of all they over charge you! Add it up yourself as they over charge but like £30/40 when you question it manager gets annoyed Over priced & I think they overcharged on purpose hoping you don’t check very shady Check your bill before you pay

Absolutely awful evening. Booked the table for myself and a group of work colleagues. It was supposed to be a chance for a chat and catch up. But the music was playing at an ear splitting volume. It was so loud the waiting staff were struggling to hear us to take our orders and it was impossible to converse between ourselves. I asked for it to be turned down instead it was turned up! Probably the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Will never go there again.

As a person who does not drink for religious reasons (I am a Muslim), I entered the premises with two other friends on a Saturday night (6/08/2022), the bouncers told us he is kicking us out for not buying any alcohol within the first 20 minutes. They didn’t give us their names or any reference to make a complaint, just kicking us out for not drinking alcohol, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS EXTREMELY RACIST

Despite already buying drinks and then stepping outside they have an insane footware rule refusing entry due to an inflated ego of a security guard. . Smartly dressed, well behaved, already purchasing drinks and coherent with staff I was still refused entry as I’m wasn’t in heels. A smart dress and clean shoes is perfectly acceptable In all bars apart from here. Such a Sexist bar. Outdated views and fundamentally disgusting customer service.

Fairly average experience, but bar and DJ in evening was really poor - songs were getting slower and slower as the evening went on so we left. Food was well priced but not the best tasting

Heard about this place through a friend. I was coming here from the metropolis that is Croydon so not just 15 mins up the road from me. However it was worth the trip. Came on a Sunday evening. Alex the bar guy was brilliant and friendly. Made my friend a cocktail at our request that wasn't in their menu. Nice cosy seating in the bar area too. Ordered some nibbles too and couldn't fault it apart from being lukewarm but the waitress (didn't catch her name) sorted that out right away without any fuss. Will be back again.

Tried this lil spot on a Sunday evening - everywhere else was pretty much dead but Zingara had a live singer and dj on til 12am. We arrived at about 9pm and spent the entire evening there. Music was great, staff were brilliant and friendly but whet stood out to me was the quirkiness and style ! Very well laid out fantastic art, decor and a beautiful landscape which is floor to ceiling in the corridor on the way to the bathrooms... the bathroom itself was an undersea explosion of mosaic and colour. Fascinating and clearly a great effort and money spent on decor and design. This place has all the feels for a relaxing glass or 2 midweek to a party night of fun with great entertainment on a weekend. Will be going back !
